This sentence should be said by Confucius in his later years. It is a summary of Confucius' life experience, not a requirement for others. Now we often quote and quote this sentence from beginning to end, misinterpreting Confucius' meaning.
Especially at the age of 30, many of us have a wrong understanding of it now. Some people think that at the age of 30, they should achieve their own career. Some people think that at the age of 30, you should be able to stand on your own feet in society; Some people think that you should start your own business at the age of 30; Some people think that at the age of 30, they should leave their parents and make their own living. There are many similar statements, but none of them conform to the original intention of Confucius.
Confucius summed up his life from the age of fifteen, taking every ten years as a time point. Nine times out of ten, I am determined to study, that is to say, I began to study at this time and made learning my main life content.
Confucius died shortly after his father was born. He grew up in a single-parent family. Later, his mother died again. Nine times out of ten, when Confucius was determined to study, he had already established himself in the society. He decided to study after solving the problem of survival.
According to Records of the Historian, Meng, a doctor of the State of Lu, praised Confucius for being young and eager to learn, and told his successor Meng to learn from Confucius. At this time, Confucius was only seventeen years old, and he was able to get such affirmation from the ruling doctor, which showed that he had established himself in society and made considerable achievements.
So the next 30 years old doesn't mean that you will start to stand on the society or make achievements at the age of 30. At the age of 30, I made a clear goal and started my future career with this goal.
Having goals does not mean that career development will be smooth sailing. In the process of development, especially in the early stage of career creation, there will be many unexpected difficulties, and there will also be all kinds of so-called opportunities to tempt him to give up his established goals. It cannot be said that Confucius wavered. But by the age of forty, Confucius had set a goal and would not be shaken by difficulties and temptations, so he was "not confused".
At the age of 50, I have a profound understanding of the history of society and the fate of life, and I have also learned a lot of laws from it. This is called "knowing the destiny". Confucius is actually a very emotional person, and he may be a little extreme when he was young.
As a saint, Confucius knows his weaknesses and has been trying to overcome them. At the age of 60, people have experienced more, the secretion of androgen has also decreased, and their mentality has become peaceful, so they naturally begin to "listen".
Life is seventy years old, there is nothing to see through, so I will do what I want, but I must pay attention to obeying the law, that is, not to exceed the rules. I still have a special understanding of the phrase "do whatever you want, don't overstep the rules", and I will share it with you here.
There used to be a popular word called "chic". At that time, people were as sloppy as possible and thought they were chic. Later, the word gradually faded out of our daily language, and now almost no one mentions it anymore.
Because we are beginning to feel more unhappy now, happiness has become our buzzword now. But what is chic and what is happiness has not been made clear.
I think Confucius inadvertently made the best comment on chic and happiness, that is, doing what he wants from the heart.
2. Write a 400-word composition with a famous saying in chapter 12 of The Analects. Let me talk about Confucius' self-summary in his later years, that is, "I am determined to learn from five out of ten, stand at thirty, be puzzled at forty, know my destiny at fifty, be obedient at sixty, and not overstep my bounds at seventy."

In the process of development, especially in the initial stage of career creation, there will be many unexpected difficulties in measuring the imitation of Gan Yu, and there will also be various so-called opportunities to lure him to give up his established goals.

3. About the Analects of Confucius, how to cultivate one's morality in 300 words? Personally, filial piety is the foundation.
Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, said in The Analects: "Quality is better than literature, and literature is better than quality. Gentleness is a gentleman. " Confucius said "tenderness". "Wen" refers to literary talent and literary spirit; "quality" refers to simplicity and reality; When dealing with people and things, the proper combination of the two is called "binbin". Therefore, "gentleness" is the proper behavior style of a "gentleman" and the expression of good national quality. Confucius generally means that only internal cultivation and external temperament complement each other can we be called a gentleman.
Mr. nan huaijin said that literature is literature, knowledge is knowledge, and learning is learning. Knowledge comes from life experience. Only by constantly improving self-cultivation and increasing experience can you be called a gentleman.
"The business of a gentleman is based on this." Brilliant literature and profound knowledge are not essential. The foundation of being a man lies in the establishment of outlook on life and inner cultivation.
"If a gentleman is not heavy, he will be unable to do so, and his knowledge will not be solid." Gentleman, only by building self-confidence, can he have prestige and learn something. Whether the ancients wore long gowns, lived in the countryside, gave lectures in the halls, enjoyed the moon in the courtyards, or urbanites were clean and tidy, living in a corner of the city, working hard and living happily; Everyone needs a business book, and everyone needs "filial piety of all virtues first."
"The tree wants to be quiet and the wind will not stop, and the child wants to keep it. Those who can't chase, the year is also; Those who go and don't see it are near. " Different people ask filial piety, and Confucius has different answers.
A father is kind and filial, and a brother is respectful. In The Analects of Confucius, Dr. Lu Meng asked about filial piety, but Confucius said it was true. No violation, no violation. Be filial to the world and be an official. Know the sufferings of the people and treat them like parents.
Disciple Fan Chi asked about filial piety, and Confucius said that when you were born, you should be polite. Death, ritual burial, ritual sacrifice. Treat people with courtesy. In short, it should be love for parents.
Meng, the son of "aristocratic children" Meng, asked about filial piety. Confucius said that parents only worry about their own illness. Simply put, if you don't raise children, you won't know your parents' goodness.
Disciple Ziyou asked about filial piety, Confucius said, disrespect, why not! You need to be filial.
Disciple Xia Zi asked about filial piety, and Confucius said that sex is difficult. Attitude, really want to use love to filial piety.
"A loyal minister must be at the door of a dutiful son." A person can first love his family and society by honoring his parents, be a loyal minister and become a public servant who serves the people wholeheartedly. Filial piety is the foundation of personal cultivation, and it is also the foundation of relying on family and governing the country.
4. Write a composition of moral cultivation with an Analects of Confucius, 200~300 words: "Confucius said: Eat it with water, bend it with your arms, and enjoy it."
Unjust wealth is like a cloud to me. "Confucius lived a hard life and thought that he enjoyed it. The wealth obtained by improper means is like floating clouds in the sky.
Although life is bitter, there is joy in it. Doesn't necessarily mean that only a lot of wealth can make you happy. Most wealthy families can't have a happy day.
Confucius would rather live a hard life than seize wealth with bad behavior. Although my family is not rich, we live a harmonious and happy life every day.
Mom and dad are changing their lives with their hard-working hands. Our family laughs every day.
My sister is a "pistachio", my father is a "funny monster", and my mother and I are "laughing ghosts". Although our family sometimes quarrels, they make up in a few minutes, unlike some rich families, they may not make up after more than ten years.
Just like the skin scalded by boiling water, if it is not treated and ointment is not applied, it will still leave ugly scars when it finally heals. Just like today's society, some people and leaders who are already very rich are still embezzling state property by improper means and confiscating it for public and private use.
There are also some poor people who can't stand the days of poverty and steal and rob to live a good life instead of creating a beautiful and happy life with their own hands. Confucius' moral words have benefited me a lot.
Life is dignified, and it doesn't want to see itself creating itself by improper means. It will be very angry.
"Ill-gotten wealth is as expensive as floating clouds to me." How philosophical this sentence is! It warns us that wealth acquired by improper means is like a cloud floating in the sky.
Must be "unjust, rich, and I am like a cloud."
5. Write more famous sayings of Confucius: You can't stand without learning manners. Do as you would be done by. If you want to stand, you will stand, and if you want to reach, you will get people. If you bow to others, you will stay away from complaining. See strange, must introspect. If you have a threesome, you must learn from me. If you choose a good one, follow it. If you don't choose it, change it. Knowing shame before acting, making people everywhere, and not humiliating life, this is the scholar. Confucius said, "It is a benevolent person to be able to do five things for the world." I really want to ask him and say, "respect, tolerance, sensitivity and benefit." Respect is not insulting, tolerance is popular, trust is responsible, sensitivity is active, and benefits are enough. " If you don't change, it's too much! If you pass, you will be anxious to change. If you don't get angry, you will pass. The three armed forces can win the handsome position, but ordinary people can't win the ambition! He who has no long-term worries must have near worries. Make haste slowly. Haste makes waste; When you see a small profit, you can't make a big deal. If you don't stick to morality and have good faith, you can't survive. When you make friends, you should keep your word. If you make friends with literature, you will help others. If you benefit three friends, you will lose three friends. If you are straight, you will forgive them and get to know them better. Make friends, you will be friendly and gentle, and your friends will be gentle. Fresh kindness. Rigid, resolute, dull, lazy and close to benevolence. Those who have virtue must speak, and those who have words don't have to cultivate themselves. Listen to what he says and watch what he does. You don't want to attract people with words, and you don't want to waste your breath. The ancients were ashamed to bow down when they couldn't say it. A gentleman's name must be said, and his words must be done. A gentleman can talk about it, not do it. I can't speak in words, and I make a slip of the tongue. He who knows doesn't lose people, and he makes a slip of the tongue. Those who don't speak are reckless, those who don't speak are hidden, and those who don't see color are embarrassed. Kindness is not easy to learn, and its cover is also stupid; If you know well and don't learn well, your cover will waver; Honesty is not easy to learn, and its cover is also a thief; Straight board is difficult to learn, and the cover is distorted; If you are brave and study hard, your cover will be messy; It's hard to learn when it's good, and crazy when it's rude. Tired when respectful, awkward when cautious, chaotic when brave and rude, awkward when straight. When you are in charge of the monarch, you should respect what you are doing before eating. The use of politeness is precious. If you do it for profit, you will complain a lot. You don't suffer from people who don't know yourself, but people who don't know others. Three thousand disciples and seventy-two saints. Isn't it a pleasure to have friends from afar? Isn't he a completely moral person? Although people may not pay attention to him, he won't feel uneasy. When you are cold, you know that pine and cypress will wither. The knower enjoys water, while the benevolent enjoys mountains. Those who know move, and those who are kind are quiet. Wise people are happy, and benevolent people live long. Can it be tolerated? Why not? Give points if you feel good.
6. Write a short essay of about 300 words around The Analects. From the Analects of Confucius, we can see that the purpose of Confucius' education is to train social managers rather than executors, so he puts moral education in the first place rather than skill education as his educational direction.
Why is Confucius so obsessed with gentlemen and villains that he must make his students become gentlemen rather than villains? From the different categories of the above two, we can see that the social role and historical influence of a gentleman as a social manager are incomparable to those who perform specific technical work. In fact, let's take a look at The Analects, which is a record of the words and deeds of some main disciples of Confucius. These words and deeds can be recorded and compiled into The Analects of Confucius, which has been passed down to this day because the contributions of Confucius' disciples and his disciples are inseparable. The Analects of Confucius was probably compiled by Zeng Shen and his disciples, but there was no paper at that time, and the words were recorded on a carrier with a large volume but a small load, such as bamboo slips. It is not an easy task to finish an Analects of Confucius. If it is only Zeng Shen and some of his disciples, without the promotion and support of Confucius' students who are in the upper class and become social managers, that is, Zeng Shen's brothers and sisters, the Analects of Confucius will be difficult to popularize and spread even if it can barely be edited. Confucius' disciples were able to do it because of their strength.
It is precisely because gentlemen live in the management of society and have such immeasurable and lasting social influence that Confucius emphasizes the morality of gentlemen so much and has very high moral standards for gentlemen. Confucius is very clever. His education focuses on cultivating students into gentlemen and trying to avoid making them into villains. But the focus of our education today is knowledge and technology, and moral cultivation can be said to be lacking, so it is very necessary to review it. If Confucius did not make great efforts to do this, it would be impossible to train a group of students who became social managers and had an impact at that time and later. Without these students, Confucius' students were ordinary people, and he could not leave his name in history. And if these students have moral problems, even if Confucius goes down in history, I'm afraid he can only leave a bad name.
